Volcanic Garden Run – Funchal & Tenerife
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 8 nights from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on December 31, 2026, visiting Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario and Arrecife. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. Warm weather in any month, with volcanoes as the backdrop. Not bad. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
